Marjorie Taylor Green remains silent when asked what happened to her Trump fund

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene owns stock in Trump's floundering media company, and when asked, she wouldn't say what happened to her stock.

NBC News reported.

When asked by CNBC and NBC News, Green did not say what happened to his stake in Digital World Acquisition Corp., which, through a merger with Trump Media and Technology Group, recently began trading publicly as DJT : The stock price is down at least 45% year to date.

Green purchased DWAC stock on Oct. 22, 2021, just days after the merger was announced, for between $15,000 and $50,000, according to his official congressional financial disclosure documents. DWAC stock opened the day at $118.80 and closed at $67.

Either Green doesn't want to admit he still owns the stock and is losing money on it like other Trump investors, or he may have gotten some inside information as a member of Congress and cashed out before the stock tanked. rock

Rep. Green probably doesn't want to say because the answer doesn't look good for her and Donald Trump. The idea of ​​any current member of Congress investing in the company of a former president/current party nominee is troubling in itself.

The whole situation is an invitation to corruption and potential criminality.

As a public servant, Marjorie Taylor Green needs to come clean and tell the American people where her Trump holdings are.
